Switching to an electric car has been a win-win decision for businessman David Norton – and he’s now urging others to follow suit.

The Managing Director of Telsonic UK Ltd in Poole has switched from a diesel Jaguar F Pace to an electric Jaguar I-PACE from Hendy and says he couldn’t be happier.

David, a self-confessed car enthusiast, says that not only does he now drive an impressive car but is saving money too.

He said: “This car has really exceeded my expectations.

“This is probably the best car I have ever driven, and thanks to the company car tax rules I’m saving hundreds of pounds a month.”

David’s decision was based on a combination of factors and he’s not disappointed.

“From a financial point of view it’s brilliant for me and makes sense for my company.

“The car is exempt from company car benefit in kind charges, vehicle excise duty is zero, there is the first year allowance benefit and I can easily charge the car every day at work.

“Even servicing costs are low,” he said.

As the electric revolution really takes hold David says he’s definitely become an ambassador for electric cars and is keen to encourage friends and work colleagues to follow suit.

“I’m happy to have gone electric and am really keen to encourage others to make the switch,” he said.

David is among a rising number of motorists benefitting financially from an electric car.

From his experience business customers, in particular, can make huge savings by going electric and also enjoy a brand new car.

“There is a perception that an electric car can be a costly decision but that is far from the case with the massive savings for both drivers and companies,” he said.
